Q:Why PAtH-Pure Audio to Health?

A:At a time when both stress,( personal and national,) and growing health and wellness awareness are at an all-time high,the public needs, deserves and wants guidance re: non-pharmaceutical methods of improving and maintaining wellness.Intent music listening on a low-distortion stereo music system is the best antidote to a racing mind and a high-stress life; it's the "free lunch" of wellness. The public needs to be imprinted with this well-known medical truth on a large-scale basis using modern communication methods, and gain a new understanding of how profoundly the combination of music,'clean sound', and intent,sole activity listening can and will enrich their lives, and enable the manifold health and wellness benefits to accrue.

PAtH MISSION STATEMENT:

The mission of PAtH-Pure Audio to Health is two-fold. #1, to inform and educate the public on a large -scale basis concerning the known wellness benefits of intent music listening on a low-distortion stereo music system, and #2, to re-position this highly pleasurable and rewarding activity as simply a logical part of a modern wellness regimen, thus reversing the current 'ivory tower, lunatic fringe' public image of Hi-Fi stereo enthusiasts. This interest and activity needs to live right on Main Street, where it did for decades before umbilically attached mobile devices, multi-tasking and mindless, disturbing HDTV programming caused our brains to reach the exact opposite of a calm, meditative state. This "racing mind" condition is a physical and psychological retrogression which has had observably negative effects on individuals, families,and our society as a whole.

UPGRADING YOUR WELLNESS LIFESTYLE-KEY CONCEPT:

KEY ANALOGY- GETTING ON THE PAtH IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS SWITCHING YOUR DIET AWAY FROM PROCESSED FOOD TO FRESH AND ORGANIC. MUCH MORE PLEASURE, MUCH BETTER FOR YOU. IT'S THAT SIMPLE!

When the 'health food' movement began in the 1950s', only small shops run by dedicated individuals could provide this guidance to improved wellness. No different today, your first step on the PAtH is to go to a small, low key stereo shop run by experienced personnel who hold your happiness up high. Mass-market outlets and too many ( but not all,) online vendors cannot begin to help you the way a career Hi-Fi person can and gladly will. If there is no such shop nearby, contact several in your area. Work with whomever is most informative and treats you most professionally and courteously, as if you were right around the corner.In outer territories, you may find the best dealers who don't depend on high-traffic and a rapid sales curve for success. A top-quality Hi-Fi dealer will spend lots of time with you and only output truthful information on the subject. This is by far the best way to ensure that your purchase exceeds your expectations. Once your dealer has set up your system properly, i.e., correct positioning of loudspeakers, all you need to supply is high-quality program material, from vinyl,the maturity of CD, or the emerging high-resolution downloads. Then sit down, turn your cell phone off, and LISTEN.Really, that's all, and you are on your way to improved wellness from an experience you already love! No bitter pill to swallow here!!!
